We think our future is shaped by big events - the decisions we make, the thoughts we have - but this book will show that it is our daily actions, the things we repeatedly do, that are the key. Repeat an action enough times and it will become a habit, but habits lack thought, consideration and presence. To ensure long-lasting, meaningful change our actions need to be filled with a sense of personal meaning, purpose and power - they need to be ritualized.

Creating personal ritual in our lives allows us to bring the presence of the sacred into the everyday. The rituals in this book have been created and designed as symbolic acts providing a framework for anyone to use to create positive change in their lives. The 7 morning rituals are designed to help you 'wake with determination'; the 7 afternoon rituals focus on 'living on purpose'; and the 7 evening rituals focus on 'retiring with satisfaction'.
